Abstract:
In 'A City Called Heaven', Robert M. Marovich follows gospel music from early hymns and camp meetings through its growth into the sanctified soundtrack of the city's mainline black Protestant churches. Marovich mines print media, ephemera and hours of interviews with artists, ministers and historians - as well as relatives and friends of gospel pioneers - to recover forgotten singers, musicians, songwriters and industry leaders.
